Idyllic Islands & Vibrant Reefs: The Best of the Red Sea Aboard a Luxury Liveaboard

Head out on guided dives along the Oberoi's incredible house reef, which starts off shallow before dropping down to a whopping 30m. Along the way, marvel at thriving reef systems, kaleidoscopic coral gardens and an array of marine life: think graceful mantas, cute turtles and sleek dolphins alongside a variety of colourful reef fish.

Between dives, the days are yours to design. Venture out into Hurghada's old town for a spot of souq shopping, or explore the majestic Al Mina Mosque before sipping on an Egyptian coffee street-side. Fancy a little extra adventure? Head out on a desert camel ride or tee off at the nearby golf course under the Egyptian sun.

Come evening, relax with a pampering session at the spa before retreating to the poolside for a well-deserved sundowner as the sky turns golden. To round off your days in true luxury, indulge in a private dinner under the stars.

Once you arrive at Port Ghalib, board the boat and settle into your private cabin before enjoying a fresh Egyptian meal at the restaurant or an expertly crafted cocktail on the bar deck as the sun sets.

Your liveaboard adventure begins at 'The Brothers', made up of the remote Big Brother and Small Brother islands. Once you're all masked up, plunge into the crystal-clear waters for wall dives featuring dramatic drop-offs into the depths below. These walls aren't just for show: they're bustling ecosystems, home to an array of big game fish, from graceful rays to sleek reef sharks. Keep your eyes peeled, because schooling hammerheads and elusive thresher sharks also grace these waters with their presence.

As if the thriving biodiversity wasn't enough, the Brothers are also home to two iconic wreck sites, Numidia and Aida. Having sunk in 1901 and 1957 respectively, these vast cargo ships are adorned with colourful coral and often see oceanic whitetips and other sharks gliding among the wreckage, making them a must-see for any experienced diver.

The excitement doesn't end there. Dolphins and tiger sharks often make an appearance along Daedalus' vibrant reefs, alongside schools of barracuda, sleek tuna and giant trevally patrolling their territory. With fast drifts and breathtaking walls, you won't want to leave the water.

If you're a shark lover, prepare to be wowed: Elphinstone offers the chance to encounter a whole cast of sharks, from oceanic whitetips and scalloped hammerhead to thresher and tiger sharks. Fancy yourself a pro? Expert divers can journey down to Elphinstone Arc, a tunnel dive under the South Plateau that's said to hold the remains of a Pharaoh.

After two thrilling days of diving, climb back on board for a final feast with your new diving buddies before heading back to your cabin for a final night's sleep on the waves.
